Solved, libz and libpthread were missing. This is because these two needs libsqlite3 itself.

At a guess libm is missing in the chroot. Check library dependencies with ldd.

Hi guys,

I can load libsqlite3 in normal environment but NOT while in chroot. It is interesting that other libraries like libc can be loaded as you can see in the following example:

gringo: ~ $: newlisp
newLISP v.10.7.6 64-bit on BSD IPv4/6 UTF-8 libffi, options: newlisp -h

> (import "/var/www/usr/lib/libsqlite3.so.8.6")
true

Now chroot, the same library file with different path of course:

gringo: ~ $: doas chroot -u www -g www /var/www /usr/bin/newlisp
newLISP v.10.7.6 64-bit on BSD IPv4/6 UTF-8 libffi, options: newlisp -h

> (import "/usr/lib/libsqlite3.so.8.6")

ERR: problem loading library in function import : "Cannot load specified object"

> (import "/usr/lib/libc.so.100.3" "printf")
printf@D5CDE4B7A40
>
gringo: ~ $:

ANY idea?

At 2006 was alive site http://www.fuzzylisp.com where I may find file fuzzylisp.lsp. It was written on newlisp. And now it not working. I was search this file on internet, but find nothing. Anybody may help me? And send fuzzylisp.zip to vashushpanov@gmail.com. Thanks!

Thank you rrq .. will try it

The steps I take are basically to
1. first create the makefile_build the normal way and then
2. copy that to a makefile_static file which I hand-edit:
3. remove -DFFI -DREADLINE (see below) from the CFLAGS setup
4. change the "default:" target action to be the two steps
  $(CC) $(OBJS) -m64 -o newlisp -static -Wl,-Bstatic -lm -lc
  strip newlisp
That's with gcc on a linux amd64 (devuan). I've got libc.a and libm.a from the libc6-dev package, and I don't include the FFI and READLINE options for it. Thoug I think you can find .a libraries for them too (libreadline-dev and libffi-dev packages)

EDIT: digging up that old project, I realized it needed musl-gcc as well; gcc doesn't seem to be capable of static binaries.

EDIT: maybe I confused myself; it seems gcc does it well too, and then you may also include ffi and readline (+termcap).

Hi guys, can anyone help me out? Is it possible to compile newlisp statically so I don't have to copy all dependency libraries from /usr/lib/... into the chroot? I need single big fat binary

I think Ted Walther mentioned in one of his posts that he managed to do it on OpenBSD (which is also my system). But he doesn't explain how

Ok roger that, rrq.

I did not realize the interactive mode would display differently.

And thanks for the println tip, makes it much prettier.

Thanks again for clarification and detailed explanation!

Much appreciated.

Yes it can be a bit confusing. The string returned by replace does have single-quotes replaced by double-quotes, but the interactive result output presents the double-quotes prefixed by backslash.

Thus, when the string has a double quote, the result printing of that string shows \" so as to indicated that the double-quote is not ending the string. Likewise, the result printing adds the double-quotes before and after printing the string content, and those double-quotes are not characters in the string.

If you make it be
(print (replace ....))then the string will be printed without extras before double-quotes, but the interactive output coming after will still show the string with that meta-character wrapping.

In short, a string of a single double-quote characters is written "\"", and it will be taken as such if input and printed as such by the interactive output. The print function doesn't add meta-characters. Here's an illustration example:
> (println "\"")
"
"\""
>The first line is what the println function prints (which is the "raw" string content with a newline added at end), and the second line is the interactive output of the value returned by the println function (the same string but with meta-characters to make it be the character sequence the input reader would need).
